Tenor Flaws

[@jchidalgot]

And what about Ramon Vinay far de best technique in dramatic tenor. Why didn' you mention him?

[@bradycall1889]

He wasn't a natural dramatic tenor, believe it or not, his natural voice was more akin to a higher-set baritone of sorts as he has explained himself in some interviews. You can also hear it as he sings baritone roles better than tenor roles, even though I'd say he does very well in those roles as well. I have heard the argument that his speaking voice was that of a tenor, and I have heard his speaking voice in two clips. In one of the clips, he does speak a little bit high but he also sounds as though he's yelling out loud or as though he's "raising his voice." It wasn't even that high, in fact, and I've heard genuine, true baritones speak like that before. In the other clip, he doesn't speak like a tenor at all. He literally has a lower-pitched speaking voice in that clip than that of Gino Bechi and some other operatic baritones. Besides, I like him and all but technicality-wise he's not particularly great. Melchior, for example, had better technique.

Yusif Eyvazov "was" married to Anna Netrebko....

[@bradycall1889]

They're separated but not necessarily divorced. They're still, technically speaking, married.

Help! I would like to read 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@bradycall1889]

You’re right I did make them too fast my apologies

Juan Diego Florez is a tenor di gracia. The sound is always bright and is generally supposed to be in Rossini. I’m confused by this video.

[@bradycall1889]

True that he is a tenore di gazia/tenore leggero and I get what you mean. But still, tenore di grazia is a subtype of lyric tenor. But Juan Diego Florez makes his voice brighter than it is naturally and not in a healthy way. Tito Schipa was light and bright but he didn't artificially brighten his sound. He had more or less the same voice type as Florez.

[@bradycall1889]

Besides, I actually rather like Juan Diego Florez. He may have technical flaws but I think he still sounds good.

[@redsfab]

Interesting but lots to read 😅 and transitions are way too fast. You should give more time to read 😉

[@bradycall1889]

Sorry about that I’ll do better next time

[@rnerse]

Florez is a leggero… singing for 30years…. It’s not right to put him there

[@bradycall1889]

Leggero is a type of lyric tenor, so it's perfect to put him there.
